Author Info

Faye Kellerman

Faye Kellerman attended UCLA where she met her husband and married him in 1972. After graduating two years later with a degree in mathematics, she earned a D.D.S. in 1978 and became a practicing dentist. Her first novel, "The Ritual Bath", appeared in 1985, the same year her husband's first novel was published. Kellerman went on to write a series of mysteries featuring the two detectives she introduced in her debut, Peter Decker, a Jewish LAPD cop who was raised Baptist by his adoptive parents, and Rina Lazarus, an Orthodox widow. Kellerman's mysteries delve into the close-knit Orthodox Jewish community, often focusing on a violent act committed within an otherwise serene and religious setting.
